Window  and  Door  Screen  Corners. 

THE  BEST  AND  ONLY  COMPLETE  ARRANGEMENT  FOR 
WINDOW  AND  DOOR  SCREENS  EVER  INVENTED. 

The  ready  sale  that  Porter’s  Patent  Window 
and  Door  Screen  Corners  have  met  with  for  the 
past  four  years  has  made  them  a permanent  fixture  in 
the  hardware  trade,  and  convinced  the  manufacturers 
that  an  article  of  this  kind  is  a necessity. 

No  home  is  complete  without  good  screens,  and  in 
order  to  enable  all  to  have  them,  the  Porter  Manufac- 
turing Company  have  put  into  the  market  an  article 
that  enables  e^■ery  one  to  make  their  own,  or  have 
them  made,  at  about  one-half  the  price  usualh’  charged. 

In  issuing  this  Illustrated  Price  List,  we  have  intend- 
ed to  show  up  our  goods  so  that  all  can  see  the  difi'erent 
styles  the}’  can  be  used  for,  and  to  enable  any  one  to 
make  the  selection  which  they  may  desire,  without  any 
mistakes;  and  we  trust  the  same  will  be  appreciated.

Window  Screen  Frame,  No.  i. 


The  cut  on  opposite  page  shows  a common  Screen 
Window,  made  with  No.  i,  No.  i 1-2  or  No.  4 Cor- 
ners, and  No.  20,  or  No.  1 20,  No.  21,  or  No.  1 2 1 Sticks. 
Two  of  the  sticks  have  grooves  (one  each  side),  and 
there  being  two  slides  or  sticks  that  are  screwed  to  in- 
side  casing,  the  Screen  Frame  slides  from  top  to  bot- 
tom of  window,  thus  affording  a fly-tight  screen  for 
either  upper  or  lower  sash;  can  be  easily  raised  to  open 
or  shut  your  windows  or  blinds;  and  when  not  wanted 
for  use  can  be  raised  to  upper  part  of  window  under 
the  curtain. 

No.  20  or  120  Sticks  are  mostly  used  with  No.  i 
Corners;  No.  21  or  121  Sticks  are  mostly  used  with 
No.  I 1-2  Corners;  either  Sticks  are  used  with  No.  4 
Corners. 

Directions  for  putting  together  accompany  each  set.

The  cut  on  opposite  page  shows  a Screen  Window 
with  center  piece,  which  is  used  only  where  the  win- 
dows are  quite  wide,  and  is  made  with  No.  i or  No.

or  No.  21,  12 1 Sticks,  with  an  extra  upright  piece. 
The  sticks  are  got  out  the  same  as  frame  No.  i,  so  they 
can  be  used  for  either  upper  or  lower  windows.  No. 
21  or  1 21  Sticks  are  mostly  used  for  this  style  Frame, 
but  are  not  put  up  expressly  for  it.  It  requires  only  an 
extra  stick  7-8x1  1-4  inches,  and  the  length  desired  for 
the  height  of  Screen  Frame,  and  can  be  very  easj-ly  ob- 
tained, or  will  be  furnished  if  desired.  ^

The  cut  on  opposite  page  shows  a common  or  Two- 
Panel  Screen  Door,  made  with  No.  2 1-2  or  No.  3 Cor- 
ners and  any  of  the  different  size  Door  Sticks,  and  is  a 
complete  Door  Sereen  Frame  that  cannot  sag  or  warp 
out  of  shape.  It  is  ornamental,  cheap  and  durable. 
There  is  no  mortising  or  tenoning,  will  last  a lifetime, 
and  is  so  easily  put  together  to  fit  any  door  that  all  will 
see  the  advantage  it  has  over  the  old-fashioned  method 
of  mortising,  which  is  liable  to  sag  and  warp,  while 
with  Porter’s  Corners  this  is  an  impossibility.

The  Sticks  used  are  the  same  as  those  used  in  Door 
Screen  Frame  No.  i,  with  the  addition  of  two  upright 
pieces  for  the  centre.  This  makes  a very  ornamental 
door,  and  is  recommended  where  the  frame  is  three  : 
feet  wide  or  over,  but  is  not  necessary.  It  is  very 
easily  put  together,  and  the  expense  is  but  very  little 
more  than  for  the  No.  i Frame.

This  new  invention  far  supersedes  the  common 
Latches  now  in  use.  As  the  above  cut  will  show,  it 
does  away  with  all  springs,  is  a reversible  Latch,  in  con- 
junction with  a pivoted  weighted  lever,  and  is  impossi- 
ble to  get  out  of  order.  It  has  an  easy  motion,  responds 
readily,  and  does  not  require  a slam  to  make  it  latch 
after  it  has  been  used  a while,  like  the  ordinary  coil 
spring  latch.

PORTER’S  BLIND  CORNER. 


The  convenience  with  which  old  blinds  that  have  sagged  out  of  shape

making  new  ones  so  they  will  always  stay  in  place,  will  we  think  meet  a 
demand  which  has  long  been  felt.  The  corners  in  no  way  interfere  with 
the  slats  turning,  and  can  be  used  on  either  side.  Two  corners  will  in  a 
great  many  cases  answer  the  purpose.
